Welcome to the board and to Short Beards!

The only thing I have to add to the great advice you've already received is to suggest that you read through the 'Taming the Wild Mustache' thread that's linked in my signature below. As you let your stache grow out these tips will help you manage it. Like the guys above, I don't think you're anywhere near terminal length and I strongly encourage you to stop trimming and start training it. An epic beard like yours needs a solid mustache to balance it, IMHO.

Cheers!
Tom
